Accessing the OpenTofu Staging Server Through the Virtual Network Computer (VNC) Viewer

This section shows you how to access the OpenTofu staging server using a virtual network computer (VNC) viewer. This method of connection is required to perform subsequent tasks in this Learning Path.

Prerequisite

You must have run the Linux commands to install and set up the VNC server by following the steps described in the previous section "Running Linux Commands to Set Up the OpenTofu Staging Server" of this Learning Path.

Accessing the OpenTofu Staging Server Through the Virtual Network Computing (VNC) Viewer

To use the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Infrastructure Provisioning Console, you must be able to access the OpenTofu staging server using the VNC server that you previously installed. In this Learning Path, the VNC server that was installed is the open source application TigerVNC. In this case, you must use TigerVNC Viewer to connect to that server on the OpenTofu staging server.

  1. Start the TigerVNC Viewer to connect to the VNC server. For example, for TigerVNC, the following dialog box is displayed:Example TigerVNC Viewer - Connection Dialog
    Note:

    If the system displays the following pop-up message, click the Cancel button to proceed.
